Social Perspective on Child Education

Abstract

In order to shape societies' future and bring societies to contemporary levels, it is important to have well-educated children. Children affect the future and development level of the society. Moreover, many political events in society affect the child's future because educational programs are affected due to social events. Country managers/politicians include the characteristics that they want to bring to the child within their educational goals. Therefore, society, children, and politics are in a close relationship. Today, it's aimed to have politically literate citizens sensitive to the expectations of the society in the context of national and international dimensions. Developed societies expect children to be educated in this direction. In this chapter, society, children, and politics are mentioned in the context of child education. It also discusses how society, politics, and children affect each other and what political literacy means for children, society, and politics in citizenship education.
